There’s no question that Angie Dickinson is the true embodiment of the classic Hollywood star, launching her career in television, shifting to the big screen, and moving back and forth between the two depending on the flow of things. In between, she found herself connected — in an organic, not cloying or opportunist way — with some of the biggest names out there. Back in 1982, Sylvia Lawler, the Television Editor of Pennsylvania’s The Morning Call, profiled the actress, asking the question, “Angie Dickinson — an enigma surrounded by a glow. What has she got?” And without missing a beat, she answered her own question: “In the beginning — that would have been 1954 when the native North Dakotan made her first movie — she was known more for her terrific legs and that sexily wholesome glow than she was for her acting ability. Her movie roles were never standouts. Nobody ever called her the new Katharine Hepburn, but she was competent enough and the parts kept coming.” RELATED: Lindsay Wagner: 50 Years of Her Bionic Life from 1970 to 2020 And so did the leading men, Angie figuratively pole-vaulting over many more experienced actresses to find herself working early on with the likes of John Wayne, Richard Burton, Kirk Douglas, Peter Finch, Gregory Peck, Marlon Brandon, and Frank Sinatra. How’s that for a who’s who list of Old Hollywood? And beyond that, she impressed the Kennedys and everyone around them when she campaigned for JFK during the 1960 presidential election (triggering rumors to this day of an affair). One of those people was writer James A. Michener, then-Democratic chairman in his native Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who chronicled the campaign in his 1961 book, Report of the County Chairman. That “report” included an assessment of Angie, which read, in part, “She was a strikingly beautiful young woman with golden hair, dark eyes and a truly gamin manner. A delightful girl to have aboard an airplane. The soul of patience, a model of good sportsmanship, source of constant hilarity. She had a low, raucous, tantalizing laugh, a touch of Carole Lombard about her, a divine irreverence … But Angie was deceptive. I liked to talk with her, because I sensed that young as she was, here was an old pro who had knocked round Hollywood without getting anywhere and then, suddenly, everybody wanted her.” RELATED: JANE SEYMOUR: 50 Years of Her Inspiring Life from 1970 to 2020 And that appeal has never gone away, leading her from John Wayne’s Rio Lobo in 1959 to perhaps her most popular role in the 1970s TV series Police Woman, to a nuanced and acclaimed performance in Brian DePalma’s 1980 thriller Dressed to Kill, with dozens of roles in between. It’s certainly what connected with biographer James Stratton, who has written Angie: The Life and Films of Angie Dickinson. “There were two major reasons for writing this book,” James explains in an exclusive interview. “My respect for her as an actor began with Rio Bravo, and then when I saw The Killers and Point Blank, I just realized there was really something there. She has some amazing gifts: the eyes, the voice, the body and how she controls them all so appropriately. I just thought that she was certainly a great pop culture figure, but also an underrated and really good actress. The second reason is that there just hasn’t been enough written or said about her. She needed to have books written about her and people talking about her. She needed to have a presence more than she had up to that point.” Oftentimes when writing a book, an author has a certain perception going into the project and emerges from it with an altered one, but that wasn’t the case in this situation. That being said, he points out, “The one thing I did come to realize was just how popular she was with everyone she had worked with. Not that I was actively looking for negative comments, but nobody had a negative thing to say about her. Overall, the experience was just a confirmation of her skills as an actress and the revelation that people really seemed to like her a lot.” In a 1959 profile, The Los Angeles Times nicely summed up her early road on the way to stardom: “She was born Angeline Brown 25 years ago in Kulm, North Dakota. Her parents owned a newspaper, the Kulm Messenger, and later published the Mail in nearby Edgeley. When she was 10, they moved to Glendale. Angie attended parochial schools, Immaculate Heart College (one semester) and then Glendale College, where she took typing and shorthand. It was the urging of fellow workers in the airplane-seat plant that caused her to enter a couple of beauty contests.” Which, not surprisingly, she won. That same year Angie would tell journalist Philip K. Scheuer that she only participated in those contests for the prizes, one of which turned out to be a small part in the Doris Day film Lucky Me, produced by Warner Bros — where she had landed in Rio Bravo. “This is what led to my interest in acting,” she said. “I had to study dramatics to find out if I could act.” Those studies were paid for by continuing to work in secretarial jobs. “I was one of six TVenus Girls on the Colgate Comedy Hour, I did Westerns, live television, small parts in pictures.” RELATED: Suzanne Somers: 50 Years of Her Sensational Life from 1970 to 2020 Early credits included appearances on Death Valley Days, General Electric Theater, Broken Arrow, Northwest Passage, Gunsmoke, The Virginian, Cheyenne, Have Gun, Will Travel; Mike Hammer, Wagon Train, The Fugitive, and so on. Bottom line, it wasn’t an easy process, especially for a woman, back then, to carve out a significant career for herself. “It was tough in those early days doing the TV shows,” James concurs, “and those early films, which were all Westerns: Tennessee’s Partners, Man with a Gun, Hidden Gun — Larry King told her once in an interview she made a lot of films with guns and knives, and they were certainly not memorable. She was just one of the chorus girls, part of the supporting cast, and it was very tough to break through. And there were so many young actresses in the same position as she was, working either in New York or Los Angeles, trying to get a foothold and being seen and valued more for their physical attractiveness than their acting skills.” Where she really made her mark was in the previously-mentioned Rio Bravo, the 1959 film that not only starred John Wayne but saw Angie costarring with Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, and Walter Brennan. It was also the first film under her exclusive contract with director Howard Hawkes, who, without her knowledge, sold that contract to the studio, which in the end actually put her into play in a wider variety of films (all of which you are looked at below). One positive is that for a time her contract restricted her to the big screen, which really wasn’t a problem as far as she was concerned. As Angie noted to The News and Observer in 1960, “It’s easy to get over-exposed on TV. Look at Marlon Brando. He does one picture a year and people wait in line to see him. They wouldn’t do that if he were doing it all the time. I like acting in pictures. It’s so nice and easy to get used to.” James emphasizes that even when she had a contract with Warner Bros, though, it wasn’t that unique a situation. “There are a lot of people who are getting contracts with Warner Bros at that time,” he points out. “There’s Connie Stevens, there’s Dorothy Provine and all these young ingénue types she’s, in a sense, grouped in with that Angie is struggling to make a different personality from. But then, by the mid-1960s you’ll see she’s showing up in television again, but that was out of necessity. She’s married and has a daughter, so there’s a desire to be close to Los Angeles and not always go on long shoots. TV shows certainly allowed for quick shoots over a week, maybe two weeks of work, and then she could come home at night. At first, she would go where the work was, but then after she has the family, she wants to stay close and takes jobs that are around that area.” From 1952 to 1960 she had been married to former football player Gene Dickinson (whose last name she obviously decided to keep). In 1965 she married composer Burt Bacharach, with whom she gave birth to daughter Lea Nikki (usually referred to as Nikki) in 1966. Born three months prematurely, Nikki had pretty serious chronic health problems, including visual impairment, and would eventually be diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. The marriage to Bacharach would end in 1981. As the ‘60s led to the ‘70s, Angie’s career — like the vast majority of actors’ — had its ebbs and flows, but then there would be projects that would jump-start things again. Both sexually charged, one of them was 1971’s Pretty Maids All in a Row (produced by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry), in which she plays a teacher who seduces her student. It’s an awful film in so many ways, but Angie is electric in it. And then there’s 1974’s Big Bad Mama, a 20s-set gangster film co-starring William Shatner in which Angie appears nude and blew the audience away, reigniting things for her. ‘Police Woman’ In 1974, Angie appeared on the NBC anthology series Police Story, that was so popular that the network wanted to spin her off into a weekly series called Police Woman, which saw her playing undercover cop Sergeant Leann “Pepper” Anderson, who was part of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Criminal Conspiracy Unit. Running for four seasons from 1974 to 1978, it was a huge hit. “I wanted to be a star,” Angie offered an explanation at the time of why she wanted to do a series. “I made some good films — Rio Bravo, The Bramble Bush, Point Blank — and I had an interesting career going, but I was not a star. Nobody was talking about writing an Angie Dickinson picture. Anyway, the best things I had had in recent years were all on television — doing Thief with Richard Crenna, See the Man Run with Bob Culp. There were good parts in inconsequential films and inconsequential parts in good films. My trouble is I’m a Libra and I want it both ways, a good part in a good film. Burt encouraged me by pointing out that this was not only the chance to be a star, but to show what I could do as an actress. It wasn’t a glamor part — glamor couldn’t get in the way. It was a chance as an undercover police woman to play many characters, do many kinds of parts. Of course, nobody knew it would be a hit. Police departments across the country tell me that applications for police women are way up — because of our show.” Elaborates James, “What attracted her was the fact that she was going to get to play all these different parts out of being undercover on Police Woman. Yet when she went undercover, she was going undercover as models and hookers and escorts and airline stewardesses and things that were just cheesecake parts. So she was kind of fighting against that. There were some episodes where she breaks through that and has a good dramatic scene here or there, but it really did become cheesecake and action and she complained about that a lot.” At the same time, it needs to be pointed out that, in a sense, Police Woman was the first in a wave of female-centric shows like Wonder Woman, The Bionic Woman, and Charlie’s Angels. “It was the first action-drama show with a major woman anchor to it,” James suggests. “It wasn’t like Barbara Stanwyck on The Big Valley where it was an ensemble and they would trade off who would be the focus of the episode each week. Every episode, every week, Angie was the star, the anchor.” ‘Dressed to Kill’ Although Angie would do well in the 1978 TV miniseries Pearl, it was in Brian DePalma’s 1980 Hitchcockian thriller Dressed to Kill which would reawaken audiences to her gifts on the big screen, including not only her acting skills but her sexuality. Angie appeared fully nude in a shower despite the fact she was intercut with a body double. The actress was surprised by the “controversy” surrounding the latter. “Why?” she posed to the Tucson Citizen in 1980. “How many people do you know who take a shower with their clothes on? It was my choice to remove my clothes, with full awareness that a lot of my fans, many of them fine, churchgoing people, will not approve. I don’t ignore my fans, but I can’t expect everyone to like or approve of everything I do. I have to express myself.” James enthuses, “I think she certainly should have been nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress for Dressed to Kill. That performance is really quite amazing, especially the kind of hide-and-seek game through the art museum that’s almost silent. She is so good in that.” ‘Wild Palms’ In 1993, Angie was one of the stars of producer Oliver Stone’s Wild Palms, a five-hour miniseries dealing with, as Wikipedia describes it, “the dangers of politically motivated abuse of mass media technology, virtual realities in particular.” Created and written by Bruce Wagner, it sees Angie playing Josie Ito, a celebrated interior decorator with numerous connections and secrets. “Josie is a lady not to mess with,” she related to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Oliver Stone was reluctant to cast me, but Bruce Wagner felt I had a nice mix of glamour, sensuality and strength that the character certainly needed. Great roles like Josie don’t come along very often, especially on television. The script allowed me to show different things I could do. I’m not good enough an actress to take average material and make it all that unique, but I can take good material and make it better. I’d like to think that’s the case with Wild Palms. “There are fewer roles, so your garden grows better and you do work less,” she added, “but then a Wild Palms comes along every so often and you realize you don’t have to be young, firm and blond to be appealing in a project.” More Recent Years After Wild Palms, Angie, who has become somewhat reclusive, appeared as a guest star in a number of shows, in TV movies and feature films (the latest, respectively, being 2004’s Judging Amy, 2009’s Mending Fences and 2004’s Elvis Has Left the Building). In January 2007, she and Burt Bacharach suffered the pain of Nikki committing suicide, the couple issuing this statement: “She quietly and peacefully to escape the ravages to her brain brought on by Asperger’s. She loved kitties, earthquakes, glacial calving, meteor showers, science, blue skies and sunsets, and Tahiti. She was one of the most beautiful creatures created on this earth, and she is now in the white light, at peace.” In looking back at Angie Dickinson’s life as a whole, James has a couple of different views of it, both on a personal and professional level. “She had so many tragedies in her life,” he says, “and she certainly was resilient and just kept going. She handled the marriage problems, the tragedies of her daughter and her sister’s Alzheimer’s disease, and just kept going. She never really spoke badly about it. She had connections with a lot of people and many men, always remaining loyal to them afterward. Stayed friends with Gene Dickinson, said how much she loved Frank Sinatra, with who she had an affair with. So I think she embraced her life. “She always talked about how lucky she was,” he continues, “and that she had a great career. She felt lucky to get the parts that she did and didn’t feel many regrets about the choices she made or the things could have been. She constantly defended the fact that she was seen as a sex symbol; embraced it, ran with it. She never denied that it was part of what made her career successful.” Please scroll down for a visual guide to Angie Dickinson’s film and TV career 1.
